Lots of waiting for things at the moment. Laura, the other Eleanora dressmaker tracked down some gold and silver trim for the panned sleeves, and it has finally arrived from Morocco. After all that, I am not sure it is a close enough match to use on the dress. So it is in my 'thinking pile' for a while.

I have also finally managed to visit a Moulding/Casting supplies shop in the City to get mould making and casting equipment for the buttons. Hopefully this means I will be making some real progress on these soon.

Apart from that, not too much progress to speak off on this project, but a number of other things on the go which I will post to the gallery page.

About Me

In the Society for Creative Anachronism I am known as Lady Rose Pennyngton, an English Lady residing in Elizabethan London.
Sixteenth century English and Florentine costume are my main focus areas, and I particularly enjoy the challenge involved in creating garments based on portraits. I have also made garb from other eras as they were required for particular events, and bits and pieces for people as needed.
In the future I intend to kep working towards period authencity and completeness of costume from head to toe. And of course, continuing to have fun costuming :)
